What do male giraffes eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Male giraffes eat the same food as female giraffes. All giraffes are herbivores and primarily eat leaves, grazing on the foliage of trees in the African bush. They prefer plants of the Mimosa (acacia) genus and combretum species, but they feed on the leaves of over 100 varieties of plants.

They also eat berries and fruits from trees when they are in season. Their long necks enable them to reach the treetops, which are out of reach of other herbivores.

Although herbivorous, giraffes are known to visit carcasses and lick dried meat off bones.
